The word on this Nina Simone biopic has been so toxic for so long -- it was filmed in 2012 but only released now -- I was really hoping to find something good in it. No luck. It's not that Simone, a legendary musician and civil-rights activist diagnosed with bipolar disorder, doesn't deserve a movie of her own. Nina is an imitation of Simone's life that keeps hitting wrong notes.

Middling biopic of Simone feels scattershot and uncertain for the most part, especially when dealing with Simone's drug issues and political activism -- it's unclear at most stages of the film what it is that drives her, either musically, politically, or towards self-destruction. Worthwhile for Saldana's terrific performance (which deserved a better movie) and her recreations of Simone's vocal performances.

Great performance from Saldana but the film itself wasn't really polished and deep enough.
